The Route

Vuelta 2020 The Route

The 75th Vuelta a España set off from Irún on 20 October to finish in Madrid on Sunday 8 November. Originally, the Gran Salida was scheduled in Utrecht, Netherlands, in August, but COVID-19 decided differently.

Irún - Santuario de Arrate

Tuesday 20 October - La Vuelta begins in style in the mountainous Basque Country. Starting in Irún, on the French/Spanish border, the race travels to a steep summit finish near Sanctuary of Arrate. The route adds up to 173 kilometres.

Pamplona - Lekunberri

Wednesday 21 October - The 2nd stage of La Vuelta is a hilly race with a promising finale. Firstly, the riders climb the bumpy concrete road to the Sanctuary of San Miguel de Aralar. Secondly, they fly down 17 kilometres of smooth asfalt into Lekunberri.

Lodosa - Laguna Negra

Thursday 22 October - The 3rd stage serves the second uphill finish on La Vuelta, although the final climb is not the hardest in the world. Yet, the last kilometre is brutal. The Vuelta a España never before finished near Laguna Negra, a black lake in the Urbion Peaks.

Garray - Ejea de los Caballeros

Friday 23 October - Stage 4 on La Vuelta travels from Garray to Ejea de los Caballeros. A bunch sprint is the most likely scenario.
